Title: Improvements in Hemstitching Machines.
IPC: D05C7/00
Filed: 1909-09-24
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 21,856. Lintz & Eckhardt. Dec. 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Hem-stitching machines; needles, vibrating.- The needles l, the holders l<2> of which are pivoted to a member l<3> which is reciprocated in the usual manner from the driving-shaft a<2>, are separated and brought together by transverse slides m. The bars l<2> pass through eyes m<1> in the slides; and the slides are reciprocated by pins n<2> which engage slots m<2> formed in them. The pins n<2> are carried by bars n<1>, which depend from a sleeve n. This sleeve is reciprocated on the tube k to effect the spacing of the needles, by a fork i<1> on a slide i. The slide is actuated by a lever h, which is pivoted at f <1>, and secured by a screw h<2> to an arm f, Fig. 5, of a lever f, f<2>, which is also pivoted at f<1>. The arm f<2> is connected by a nut and bolt g<1> to a bell-crank lever e pivoted at e<1>. The lever c is actuated by a pin e<2> on one arm running in the groove of a cam c mounted on a shaft b, which is driven by gearing a<3>, d from the shaft a<2>. By adjusting the fastening g<1> in the slot f<3>, the motion imparted to the slide i may be varied from zero to a maximum. The screw h<2> engages a slot in the lever h, and allows angular adjustment, thus regulating the lowest movement of the bar i, and so adjusting the distance between the inner stitch rows. The cam c is so formed that the needles take up their innermost position during two stitches, and move apart for the third stitch, and they may also move apart slightly during the inner stitches in order to enlarge the stitch hole. By changing the gearing a<3>, d, the arrangement of the stitches may be altered. A borer o, an ornamental-thread guide p, and a feed-ring r<1> are provided.

Patent GB-191004696-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Systems of and Apparatus for the Control of Electric Circuits.
Inventor: OLMSTED ALEXANDER HOLLEY
IPC: B60L15/34
Filed: 1910-02-24
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 4696. Olmsted, A. H. Feb. 24. Switches, quick-action.-A mechanically-operated switch consists of a fixed resiliently mounted contact 74 and a movable contact 75 pivoted at a point 81. The movable contact 75 is operated from a shaft 63 through cam-surfaces 85 and toggle mechanism consisting of links 76, 77, 83, 88. When the shaft 63 is rotated in a clockwise direction, the cam 85 engaging with a roller 82 mounted upon the lever 83 causes a projection 87 on this lever to engage a projection 84 on the lever 88. Upon a further rotation of the shaft the roller falls behind the cam-surface 85, thereby allowing the spring 94 to draw the lever 83 quickly into its original position and straighten the toggle levers 76, 77 so as to bring the contact 75 into engagement with the contact 74. The disengagement of the contacts 74, 75 is effected by means of a cam 92 mounted upon the shaft 63. At a predetermined angular position of the shaft 63 the cam 92 is arranged to engage the lever 88, thereby lifting the projection 84 out of engagement with the projection 87 and allowing the spring 78 to separate the contacts 74, 75. During the reverse movement of the shaft the roller 82 passes between the cam-surface 85 and the shaft 63 so that no closure of the switch occurs. Electrically-released switches.-In addition to the cam 92 for opening the switch an auxiliary electro-magnetically controlled tripping-device is provided which consists of an auxiliary shaft 24 and an arm 93 keyed to the shaft 24. The arm 93 is provided with a roller 98 engaging a cam-surface 97, while the shaft 24 is provided with a cam 91. When the operating member of the shaft 63 is in its initial position, the cam 91 is prevented from acting upon the arm 161 by means of the cam 97 and roller 98 as shown. in which position the levers 88 hold the switch closed. When the operating-member of 'the shaft 63 is moved from its initial position, the cam 91 is prevented from acting upon the arm 161 of the switch by means of a projection 99 of the lever 93 engaging with a notch on the armature 100 of an electro-magnet 23. If the circuit of the magnet 23 is broken, the cam 91 engages with the arm 161 to open the switch. The shaft 63 is operated by an electromotor.

Granted: 1911-10-23
Abstract: 24,457. Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co., and Peake, W. S. Oct. 21. Potentiometers.-For measuring small electromotive forces, as of thermocouples for pyrometers, a standard cell D and the thermocouple A are permanently connected to points on the potentiometer wire, so arranged as to give a balance for the mean value of the pressure, the pointer of a milli-voltmeter B being then in the middle of the scale. Variations are measured by the deflexions of the voltmeter B without alteration of the connexions. A rheostat may be included in the indicating-circuit to vary the range of the instrument. A battery H of a high electromotive-force is used with a rheostat J of high resistance, to reduce the current through the standard cell D, the balance of which is tested occasionally, preferably by means of a switch arrangement. To avoid errors due to temperature variations, a cell of low temperature-coefficient may be used with a constant-temperature cold junction; or a cell having a temperature variation about the same as that of the cold junction may be used, and in this case the thermo-couple A may be connected through compensating-leads as described is Specification 370/09, [Class 97(iii), Thermometers &c.].
